Mechanical processing
High-speed movement provides dispersing, grinding and homogenising action. The operator sets the processing time.
Dispersing and homogenising system
SpinAX
An instrument for tissue and bone sample processing, designed for ProbeAX Evolution tubes. It prepares soft tissue, muscle, cartilage and bone for subsequent laboratory analysis.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL · AHEPA HOSPITAL
From the sample.
To the laboratory workflow.
Medical Trade’s demonstration supplied from AHEPA shows loading ProbeAX Evolution and operating SpinAX. The steps are supported by manufacturer instructions.
- Remove the magnetic cover and load the closed tube upside down into the holder.
- Replace the cover and check the setting for the specific sample type.
- Start the automatic cycle. Homogenisation takes place inside the same tube.
- Proceed to the next laboratory method under the validated protocol.
How long is the cycle?
The AHEPA demonstration selects a one-minute cycle. Supplied ProbeAX Evolution instructions, version 03 (05/07/2024), for AL0509/AL0510/AL0511/AL0511-B recommend one minute for standard samples, a sample weight of 500 mg, and adjustment to sample type and size. The current Axonlab AL0510 page, checked on 23/10/2026, describes the classic configuration with 5 ml of 0.85% NaCl and a two-minute grinding time. Confirm the exact reference, current instructions and the laboratory’s validated protocol before use.
What about PCR and NGS?
The ProbeAX Evolution flyer lists sub-culturing and molecular diagnostics. Its instructions require prompt downstream microbiological and molecular methods under internal laboratory procedures. Axonlab describes AL0510 as tested DNA-free for molecular analyses. Compatibility and optimisation of a specific method must be confirmed by the laboratory with the technical team.
How are transport and storage determined?
ProbeAX instructions require a securely tightened cap, tissue completely covered by liquid and transport to the laboratory as quickly as possible. Processing and subsequent microbiological or molecular analyses follow internal laboratory procedures.

Noise and consumables
The official Axonlab film and SpinAX listing specify a noise level below 56 dB. The film distinguishes ProbeAX Evolution disposable sample tubes from the SpinAX homogenising instrument. Confirm the exact equipment and operating conditions in the technical proposal.
